"The food here is fabulous. The place is only let down by the service. My 3 stars are for the chef and their team in the kitchen. We had a seafood platter to start which had some amazing tastes. The best thing on that platter being the smoked mackerel pate. For mains I had the lamb burger with goats cheese and my husband had the pie of the day (chicken and tarragon) both bursting with flavour and beautifully cooked. All the food eaten was excellent value for money. The decor here is quirky love the bottle covered ceiling. Seating is nicely arranged. This place should be getting 5 stars every time if it were not for the staff serving. Numerous times we had to try and get the attention of the numerous young ladies serving. They were so busy chatting that we would have to go to the bar to pay as none of them were looking up to notice numerous people putting their hands up to get service. The room too was getting quite cold before we left. I thought it was the large gap under the fire exit near our table, but it would turn out to be the door to the beer garden that was wide open that was making everyone near it put on their coats (luckily we were sat quite a way from it). If the staff had been paying attention they would surely have closed the door. Some staff training would go a long way in this restaurant. I’m sure ourselves and others would have spent a lot more on drinks and food if we’d been able to get served and had the place been warm enough with the simple closure of a door."

"We were looking for an Italian restaurant during our visit and saw the review for the place and we had a very nice dinner. We were seated without a reservation which was surprising and the maitre d was very welcoming. For starters we had the Aracini and Panzanella salad. The Aracini were filled with bolognese and had a spicy tomatoes sauce. They were perfectly fried and full of flavor. Not a lot of spice but enough to cut through the fry. The salad was an excellent version of the dish, with capers and peppers in addition to the standard bread, mozarella, and tomato. It had an excellent balasamic and oils dressing. Our only suggestion was using a more flavorful tomatoe like a campari versus the beef steak. The mains were chicken wrapped in ham and squid ink risotto with calamari. Both dishes were excellent. The chicken was moist and the ham added a depth of flavor. The squid ink risotto was a perfect risotto which is even harder with squid ink so we were very impressed. The squid was soft and perfectly prepared as well. The flavors were complex and a blend between the sea and a slight level of spice/heat. Very delicious. In general the wait staff was good with our main waiter Manuel was very attentive and helpful. But one of the assistants was rude with us many of the tables. And some of the others were not as friendly, which was off putting at first but once Manuel took over things improved. Overall, it was a great meal and we definitely recommend it. Usually plan on reservations but you can try with out them and you may get lucky as well."
